MLB.tv is offering a 10 dollar deal for the rest of the baseball season. The offer is valid only until 11:59pm on Monday.

I get their emails every week with their latest deal, I'm sure it won't be the last. I still think the O's have enough business to do, that I'm not worrying about other teams so much, not sure when i'll start scoreboard watching. As far as I'm concerned, keep winning games for the time being and control what you can control.

If posters continue to write this type of stuff "Swoon", "Regress to the mean", And "So now it begins" sooner or later they may be correct but I find it discouraging when posters seems to think the glass is always half empty.

I would rather look at it as "let's get this one out of the way to go on a winning streak"

They have a bunch of "bad losses" this season and they have bounced back every time.

This team just doesn't give up. I think the most impressive thing they have done is not win more than 5 games in a row. Maybe it also is a negative as it shows the inconsistencies of the starting rotation but it also proves they are good and haven't relied on one or two crazy long winning streaks to get where they are now.

I don't see it continuing much longer. Tillman is going to be a huge loss if he is done for the year. Who knows if Hammel's knee will hold up okay. Saunders can't win at home for whatever reason. Just too many potential bumps in the road as I see it
